Our slit lamps are famous, not only for providing excellent optics and high precision mechanics, but also for their exceptional durability. The longevity resulting from high quality Swiss manufacturing makes these slit lamps one of the best investments one can ever make for its practice.
This guide is intended to assist those who seek to capture images of the
eye, using the slit lamp, to improve the quality of their photography by using
simple-to-follow illumination diagrams and high quality image examples.
We hope this book provides inspiration and motivation to anyone who is
involved in the art of documenting the unique properties and pathologies of
the eye and through Haag-Streit we offer a number of instruments to help
you.
Haag-Streit offers two anterior segment cameras: the Imaging Module 910 as the best-in-class device which provides unbeatable image quality, and the Imaging Module 600 which is a cost-efficient alternative.
In this edition of 'InFocus' we reflect on the success of our attendance at 100% Ophthalmology earlier this year, where we sponsored the Ophthalmology Hub, providing three innovative educational lectures and also ran our popular Eyesi Slit Lamp simulator competition. As the official Haag-Streit distributor for Northern Ireland, we look ahead to travelling to Belfast for the RCOphth Annual Congress 2024.

WAVELENGTH BENEFITS – WHY 577 nm?
■ The yellow wavelength 577 nm causes less retinal burns and therefore less scotoma formation
■ This gives the physician better control over the interaction between the laser beam and tissue
■ The yellow light is not absorbed by xanthophyll, making it ideal for macular treatments
■ Because it also produces less scattered light, it penetrates existing opacities better and reaches the tissue more precisely

THE PRINCIPLE OF SHORTPULSE
■ In shortpulse mode a pulse duration consists of many alternating short bursts and
intervals
■ In contrast to the continuous wave (CW) mode, the tissue is not heated very much
in the shortpulse mode – tissue is treated more gently

PHOTOCOAGULATION – TREATMENT GUIDELINES FOR
SHORTPULSE LASERS
These guidelines have been prepared following industry standards retinal treatments, the use of the laser and its parameters are respon-
sibility of the treating ophthalmologist.
Procedure Spot size(*) Exposure Periferal burn Duty cycle
PRP ( Periphery ) 300 – 400 μm 200 mS 3 × 5 %
DME 100 – 200 μm 200 mS 2 – 4 × 5 %
DME+RVO 100 – 200 μm 200 mS 2 – 7 × 5 %
(*) Spot size on macula including the lens magnification factor
Suggested parameters for the Posterior Segment taken from Bloom & Bruckner (1997) “Laser Surgery of the Posterior Segment”
PERIPHERAL BURN FACTOR
When using Shortpulse it is necessary to perform a laser shot to test the melanin response. Apply a burn shot away from the fovea, titrate
the power until achieve blanching. Starting with a spot size of 100 – 200 μm, power 50 – 100 mW and exposure of 200 mS then slowly
increase energy until produce a barely visible burn.
The power is multiply to compensate the short pulse duration.
BINOCULARS IN FOCUS
Each user must have the oculars set for their personal refraction, this way the laser will be in parfocality with the aiming beam and retina.
Defocused slit lamp may result in unpredictable laser burns.
TEST SHOTS
■ Always assure perfect retinal focus before delivering the treatment
■ Perform a series of SINGLE SPOT shots in the periphery to test the melanin response, for your test
shot aim for a blanching or light burn
■ Start with the lowest recommending power and the shortest exposure time
CW TREATMENT
For CW guidelines, please refer to Merilas 532α Guidelines.
